Shrewsbury Town chalked up a first friendly victory of pre-season with an impressive 2-1 success over Championship new-boys Derby County.
Ex-Town favourite James Collins headed in a first-half equaliser for Derby but the hosts impressed throughout, including some fine performances from new recruits and trialist midfielder Jordan Rossiter.
Town started the clash well and impressed the home fans with some of their football played out from defence and some resolute defending, from Toto Nsiala specifically, who had a strong first half. Not for the first time in the last year or so, Town tried with an effort from outside the box directly from a corner. O'Reilly's corner met left-back Mal Benning, whose well-struck volley was wide of the far post.
But Derby equalised on half hour all too easily as former Salop favourite Collins headed in unmarked at the near post from a Joe Ward corner. Jerry Yates saw a low shot well blocked by Town's defence before Salop broke well but couldn't take advantage.
